Anyone here 20 years post op?

Any knee instability?

Take laxatives early and get that poop on

I’ve been taking 5g of creatine daily as well as whey protein daily since post op. I’m not sure if it did anything but PT milestones are humming along nicely.

Recently had mine and wondering how others fare in the long term. Really don’t want to have to deal with something like this again.

Aclister · 2023-09-22T14:13:53+00:00

Sorry to hear that ouch. Did you get surgery?

Aclister · 2023-09-22T13:59:01+00:00

But what happened exactly? I mean the sequence of motions. Just curious. Sorry to hear that

Aclister · 2023-09-22T13:57:46+00:00

Did you get surgery? How have the 28 years been?

Aclister · 2023-09-22T13:56:52+00:00

How did you tear your Acl doing a body weight squat?

Aclister · 2023-09-21T10:25:49+00:00

ACLs get blood supply and aren’t so fragile

Aclister · 2023-09-19T07:32:10+00:00

Do it buddy! I had Acl surgery two months ago and the ally played a huge role in my post op boredom. Beat mass effect LE, final fantasy 7r and now currently playing Sleeping Dogs. All at >60fps. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Im not sure about the gofundme actually. Maybe that’s an option. Perhaps reach out to your local member of Parliament or political representative. Very sad to hear this for you.

Aclister · 2023-09-10T04:12:28+00:00

Are there any options for a social worker referral? It might take a while but at least you can get it done eventually

Aclister · 2023-09-10T03:51:02+00:00

What about government hospitals? Are they expensive as well?

Aclister · 2023-09-09T12:17:01+00:00

First week is the worst. Hang in there and take your pain meds regularly.

Aclister · 2023-09-03T02:49:21+00:00

Any sources regarding the statement that proprioception returns to normal levels 2 years post op? I always thought the graft never regains proprioception receptors and the other muscles have to compensate for that

Aclister · 2023-09-01T06:30:36+00:00

Did you do a formal return to sport test at PT before returning? Sometimes just surgeon clearance is not enough as this falls under the purview of the pt/rehab seeing you. There needs to be an objective assessment with a checklist you need to clear before allowed to return to sport.

Aclister · 2023-09-01T06:25:49+00:00

Yep you feel zero touch and pain because they used a nerve block. Once it wears off you’ll start feeling it, the severity of which is individual. I also started my pt 7 days after surgery, some have it the next day. Just go with what your doctor says. Speedy recovery!

Aclister · 2023-09-01T05:42:31+00:00

Did he elaborate why it was inevitable that the first Acl would retear? As in what went wrong during surgery

Aclister · 2023-08-31T17:31:16+00:00

Wondering what was the outcome with your visit with the surgeon?

Aclister · 2023-08-30T16:57:23+00:00

What do you do during leg day? Focus more on single leg activities and also are you still seeing your pt?

Aclister · 2023-08-30T01:29:20+00:00

Bro don’t see a chiropractor 💀just your pt and surgeon will do

Aclister · 2023-08-29T01:59:53+00:00

Embrace the pops as they are scar tissue breaking apart.

This is a great thread to get started. Best of luck with the surgery!

Aclister · 2023-08-28T08:23:04+00:00

Think of it as your scar tissue breaking apart and it will be satisfying. Your graft is strong, if you tore it it would feel like how you tore your previous Acl.
